This guy was basically the imagination behind the Silver Age of comics. I think it had been a long time since he worked in comics, like around '85 or something, I remember the comic where Superman went to his retirement party. But he was there, at DC from the 40s to the 80s.
Anyway, kind of a bummer.

This makes me very sad. He was largely responsible for the superhero revival of the late '50s, and edited countless terrific comics.

The story of that issue is one of the sweetest things I've read in a while, it was good to learn about what JS had done in general, too. RIP. Thanks.

― Kingfish Funyun (Kingfish), Monday, 9 February 2004 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh hey can I add you if I find you? I'm getting pissed off at how many "friends" my friend has

― Silly Sailor (Andrew Thames), Monday, 9 February 2004 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Also y'know I'd like to read yr lj and be friendly and so forth, I'm not just coveting my friend's total, honestly. I'd also dearly love to stop messing w/this thread, so I will.

Why did livejournal suddenly get popular anyway? Out of all the blogging services, that is? (You'll still never see a blog from me NEVER ahahahaaha.)

dunno. word of mouth. i found out about it two years ago.

altho, i think it works better as a message board than a blogger, using the "Friends" view. if you get several people, each connected to the other, you get a shared board that improves the experience.

plus, LJ's ability to handle RSS feeds means that you can import comic strips and other blogs(like, say, Neil Gaiman's) as a "friend". This also teaches you that Neil posts way the fuck too much without enough grist.
